Barrel Draught from the jug at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 30/09/2005 Golden coloured and hoppy with an orange fruit aroma and flavour. Crisp slightly bitter finish.

Draft at the souce. Hazy golden yellow color, small white head, solid lacing. Aroma of grass and light pine. Taste is bitter pine. Not bad.

On tap @ McCoys Westport KC. Slightly burnt orange appearance with a tan head. Somewhat piney hoppiness. Fairly typical piney hoppy flavor. Some earthy characteristics on the finish.

Sample at the brewpub. Pours a clear golden-orange color with a medium thin and somewhat creamy off-white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops and sweet malt. Medium body with flavors of hops, grapefruit and caramel malt. The finish is mildly hoppy with a short bitter aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sampled in a standard old pint glass which displays a bright golden and orange hue topped by a fluffy head and very nice lace.
The aroma has a nice layer of grassy andlight piney hope, some grapefruit and clove, and healthy dose of biscuity malt.
The flavor profile is a solid bitterness supported by the pale malts, clean and simple which mades a fine drinking IPA. The finish is a tad peppery and astrengent. <sp> Overall, it is a good IPA and what is wrong with that?

Clear golden with a fizzy white head. Grapefruit and caramel aroma and taste with a moderate bitterness and earthy finish.

This is a medium-dark amber beer witha nice citric aroma. This ale follows with the promised grapefruit hoppiness and medium body. Very good American-style IPA.

On tap at the brewpub. The body was medium gold with a chunky and slightly off white head. The aroma was grapefruit with some light bread. The taste had some unbalanced grapefruit rind with almonds. There was also some burnt bread crust. This was another lifeless beer at the brewpub. This needs some more malt body.

Had on draft @ McCoys in KC .. . Pours orange, great foam, same with the lacing .. . citrus and sap, pretty light.. . A good session IPA.. . If there are any questions, direct them to that brick wall over there..
